New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed President Barack Obama’s bid for reelection Thursday, citing climate change in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. But Bloomberg has offered some blistering critiques — ranging from foreign policy to economics to even personal — of Obama, despite the endorsement just days before Election Day.

Here are some of the most memorable:

“Just getting elected.” November 2012 issue of The Atlantic on Obama’s biggest success as president.

“The president — how often does he talk to the press? His press secretary talks to the press everyday, ok. But I happen to think the public should demand he should.” November 2012 issue of The Atlantic.

“If you think about it, the president, as I remember, said he wants more conversation. Well, we’ve been saying this for quite a while now. We don’t need more talk. We need some leadership.” Oct. 17, 2012; in a press conference in New York City.
